  • In the Boston area DooWop is not just black singers. How about Dio & The Belmonts. We called there music SDooWop but always list it as Rock&Roll. The Stereos song here would be listed as R&B along with the Coasters, Drifters etc. Even if you go to a record store today if you can find such a thing you will find several kinds of musical catagorieas like Pop. C&W, R&B, Rap/Hip Hop, Classical and so on. So don't say that music doesn't have catagorie or barriers. Theres white&black in all music

  • 1961 was a great year for rock n roll . This is just one example. Gary US Bonds had it rockin that year,too

  • @excelsior544------"sub genres"? Man, give me a break. This is Rock & Roll in its purest form. Don't start using nonsense names like "doo wop" and sub genre. We would have looked at you like you wuz from Mars in the 50's and 60's. This is Rock & Roll. Beach Boys, Little Anthony and The Imperials, Paul Anka, Dion & The Belmonts, Neil Sedaka, etc., all Rock & Roll. Period.

  • MAn that shiza is serious... you got the flip Side? i love this,.. SO .... MUCH

  • GREAT, GREAT sound from '61that was nationally #29 I think, but in the 'burg', was in the top 10. Great doo-wop. It wasn't a "moron" who labeled this music doo-wop. As many of the black groups were accapella, and "do - do - do", I mean listen to the running vocal bass line! In record stores in '60's - well in Pittsburgh anyway, there weren't listings for "race music", it was labeled RNR. Anyhoo, didn't have a copy of this on XCFT - but bought on EBay. Thanks for posting.

  • Doo Wop? What's that? This is Rock & Roll!!!! When we bought these records, we went to the ROCK & ROLL section. There was nothing called "Doo Wop" until some moron in the early 70's started calling it "Doo Wop." Rock & Roll Forever.

  • @cockroachcrusher

    "Doo Wop" IS R&R, just like Surf and Soul--sub genres.

  • nice

  • Great! I love doo wops!!!!!

  • im only 18 but age dosent matter cuz all i listen to is pure doo woop and thats it..thanks to my dad for teaching real music

  • Thanks phunkyjunction for this SUPERB post for One-Hit Wonder The Stereos! This song peaked at #29 in October 1961, too bad it didn't go higher.

  • @OneHitWonderGuy listen to "A love for only you" by the Steros !! it would be a "HiT" in my heart .

    The Clarences

  • <3 <3 <3

  • Brilliant song, very cheery and upbeat. I'm 16, and love this kind of music. This is definately a different form of doo wop than a lot of other songs in the genre, but it's still really nice and fun to listen to.

  • The novelty approach almost obscures the fact that this is a very neat little group harmony record.

  •  yeah it was kinda strange for the time but i love it .....

  • Havent heard this in 20 years and always wondered who it was.Thank you.

  • @phunkyjunction Hehe

  • They were friends of mine as I am from Burgettstown and played at many of my RECORD HOPS all over THE VALLEY. THEMOJOMAN(.)COM

  • Oh this is to cute, I thought this was Stereo like the white tattoo'd guys lol

  • These guys were from Steubenville, Ohio. I watched them on NINE TEEN TIME, which was a local dance party on WSTV-Channel 9. I was and still am a huge fan of the group. The beginning of this particular song was copied by Motown with the release of "Where Did Our Love Go" by the Supremes.

  • Love this P J....thx 4 posting...

  • I remeber being vexed by this record when I found it. Couldn't quite figure out why, but I played it over and over again. There are some hard harmonies in this tune, but The Stereos pull it off without a hitch! Thanks!

  • I love these early Doo Wop tunes! This one is so catchy, it has you tapping your feet and clapping your hands to the music! Thanks for posting!!

  • Thanks for finding these numbers. Originally being from Steubenville, Ohio I remember hearing their stuff and have played Stereo Freeze with another local band.

  • I used to spin this early doors at a mod club in Liverpool many years ago.Top tune.

    Thanks for jogging my memory.

    Cheers

    : )

  • CLASICO DE 1961, POTAROO DE CHILE

  • Kingmoo, you couldn't be more right...these are the REAL STEREOS.

  • Heard this at work today, and it's been stuck in my head all day and night!!! I find myself constantly humming it and tapping my fingers and hands to the catchy beat! Great song, I love it!!!! =)

  • Catchy little number this one.. I'll be humming this a little on the way to work now.. dooom dooom dooom.....

  • Love it when the base sings lead

  • Guys..it's a different Stereos.  Chill..

  • this song always makes me laugh

  • lol i thought this was a different stereos. lol.

  • I've waited a long time to hear this.Mainly because I heard that this was what lead the beatles to do that Doo Wah Doo riff on "Do you want to know a secret"

    Many thanks

    Tommo (England)

  • Simply one of the classic standards...

    Thx

  • Double WAMO!!!!!!

  • This Steros recording got a lot of play

    at the hops in the Pittsburgh area around 1962 - I believe. I also think that the Stereos were from the Pittsburgh area -which would certainly include Stubenville. I can still see the kids kickin' up the dust from the gym floor dancing to those foot stompin' tunes. Some of them got really carried away. Thanks for posting it.

  • Ahhh; this was the FIRST 45 I ever bought as a teenager. I actually still haveit. How nice to see it posted. Oh wow. I remember the tune 'Foot Stompin' too...brings back memories; sock hops, etc. Sighhh

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhh, real nice !!!!!

  • This was oneof a brief flurry of foot-stomp records in the early 60's, and, with its great bass line and neat vocal interplay, is by far the best- very underrated!

  • I think the Stereos were from the Hill...

  • I know this one well, yep I'm from Pittsburgh.. Big Ray, Candy and Mike play this on WEDO....

  • I was always under the impression that they were from Pgh as well..but some one said they came from Stubenville...

    I used to listen to this on WAMO...Porky.

  • Yes, the group is from the Steubenville area. The lead singer is a really good friend of mine.

  • Is this Mr. Swearengin (pardon spelling)?  Thanks.........

  • if this is stereos  they are from edmonton alberta canada nice try

  • The Stereos are indeed from Steubenville, you can look it up for yourself on Wikipedia.

    And one other thing, learn to punctuate and capitalize and write an intelligent sentence, dumbass.

  • no there not do these guys sing summer girl?

  • Oh, did you look it up on Wikipedia or are you too illiterate to read the page?

    You know, until you can write an intelligent sentence, I am not even going to waste my time replying to you any more than I have.

  • the stereos are from edmonton alberta. check there facebook.

  • @mattmcgrath43 -sorry, you are wrong. These STEREOS come from Steubenville OH originally. Know for a FACT live near there.

  • that's a different stereos. they are much better, but this isn't their song silly :P

  • Do you have "Unless You Mean It" by the Stereos, as well? Thanks for posting this classic doo-wop.

  • Was A BIG tune in Pittsburgh....love it
